Mozilla released recently Firefox 2.0.0.9, which resolves a number of bugs present in 2.0.0.8.
You can download the new version from getfirefox.com or you can upgrade your existing firefox installation by opening firefox, clicking the help menu and Check for Updates.

Yahoo launched Messenger 9 Beta recently . And just at the right time too! I had just uninstalled Messenger 8 for good, and moved to Pidgin, and if it weren’t for the voice chat and and options i would have kept to Pidgin. But when i found out about the new features of Yahoo Messenger 9 i decided to give it a try.

These new features are:

• The most important one is that you can view youtube and yahoo videos and also flicker images and online map links inside the messenger window by copy-pasting the link.
• You can forward text messages and voice calls to a mobile phone
• Redesigned GUI with a few themes
• New emoticons… like d, witch can appear in the status! (or at least so it is said, ‘cuz it didn’t work when i tried it)
• A open/close display images at top-right
• and many others.. you will discover for yourself

At this moment i have both Messenger 9 Beta and Pidgin installed… I really can’t give up on one of them.. i use them both!

I have many browsers installed as you can see from the screenshot at the left of this. I think the only important browser that is missing from this list is Netscape Navigator.. i mean for Windows, on my linux drive i also have installed the KDE default browser Konqueror.
From all of these browsers that i have used, and currently use, the most and most used is Internet Explorer from the 5.01 version to 6.0. That’s the reality.. but and there is a big but here.. i used that the most because Firefox didn’t existed at that time, or i haven’t had heard of it. Anyway from the moment i first discovered Firefox i never turned back to IE. I’m a big Firefox fan mainly for it’s add-ons, small size, ease of use, and (not the case anymore) speed.. Unfortunately as I was saying i’m a bit dissapointed of my current firefox 2.0.0.6 with nearly 50 plugins and iSafari theme ‘cuz it became very very slow..
I await anxiously for the new Firefox 3 (Gran Paradiso). Till then when i need speed i’ll have to keep switching to Opera, Maxthon or IE.
